Rebirth as the God of Cooking in Japan

Xia Yu didn't know, he had just shut himself into the kitchen, and besides Sakamoto and Ryoko Rina, the shop welcomed another customer.

"Ayu——"

A slightly panting voice came in from the ajar door.

Sakamoto and Ryoko Rina were surprised to see a high school boy wearing a uniform, who was obviously just after school, holding on to the threshold, as if rushing all the way from Ueno Tram Station, with sweat on his forehead.

"Huh, where's Ayu?"

This boy is An Yilun.Having said that, for the past ten days, of course, he has maintained close contact with his employer Xia Yu. It is a coincidence that just last night, the homepage of the Xia’s shop was set up, and An Yilun also came over in person this time, just thinking Those who convey good news and ask for credit prove that they have not been paid in vain.

Did not see Xia Yu, only saw two face-to-face guests, An Yilun wiped off his sweat, and started walking towards the kitchen, but was stopped by a woman.

"Wait first." Ryoko Lina opened her sleeves and looked at the time displayed on the small and exquisite ladies' watch. "It will take at least one hour before he will come out of the kitchen. It is best not to disturb him in the meantime. "

"Uh..." An Yilun could only find a place to sit down.

"Would you like tea?"

Ryoko Rina almost regarded this as her own small shop, and she expertly walked into the bar, found fried green tea leaves and a pot of hot water, put her palm on the outside of the kettle, tried the water temperature, and her lips curled slightly. The arc, "You can make tea at this temperature."

"Then, then trouble you!" An Yilun also scratched his head.

Tea?

Sakamoto heard the words and looked at his desktop. The plate of fried rice he had just eaten was still confiscated, and the hot tea that Xia Yu specially boiled for him in front of him still gave a scent of fragrance.

Sniffing the tea fragrance, stomach acid seemed to increase secretion. Sakamoto felt that he had missed the delicacies other than fried rice, so he could not help but push the frame of his glasses, picked up the water glass and took a sip.When the tea is flowing between the throat and intestines, click, hold the hand of the water cup, and suddenly grasp it, the green veins bloom, this is the expression of Sakamoto's inner excitement.

"This quality green tea..."

In the eyes of others, Sakamoto is still the same Sakamoto, and the cool aura is still strong, but at this moment, Sakamoto's heart is surging, and only he himself knows that he is warm with a sip of tea and his body is warm. Grunt.

Ryoko Lina also made a cup of tea for An Yilun. Her tea making skills are not weaker than Xia Yu. After all, Ryoko Lina is a master of "Kaiseki cuisine". Hot tea is indispensable for this kind of banquet. Tea ceremony can be said to be one of the indispensable skills for tea and rice.

"It's delicious!" An Yilun also swept away the tiredness of rushing from the private Toyonosaki Academy, a happy smile from the heart appeared on his face, and there was even water flickering in the corner of his eyes.

An Yilun also didn't know that she was treated by a female special chef.Just such a cup of hot tea, not everyone can enjoy it.He is undoubtedly a lucky one.At least as lucky as Mr. Sakamoto.

And in the kitchen, Xia Yu is concentrating on cooking a tofu dish.

The task [First Use of Fantasy Ingredients], the requirement is to melt the ingredient "Shuangjiang Tofu" into the recipe "Ma Po Tofu" to obtain an improved glowing recipe.

Magic Mapo Tofu is Xia Yu's earliest luminous cooking, and it is also his confidence in cooking perfect cooking beyond the limits of the ingredients.

'Six flavors in one'.

Spicy, hot, fragrant, color, hemp and crisp, are the essence of magic mapo tofu.

At present, Xia Yu has grasped the profound meanings of “hot”, “color” and “crispy” in the improved recipes. The rest, “spicy”, “fragrant” and “ma” are actually related to sansho and prickly ash. , Pepper powder and other spices.

That's right!

The improvement of the recipe of "Ma Po Tofu" is closely related to his use of spices.Due to changes in the main ingredients, Xia Yu is looking for the balance of spices contained in the cooking.

I deliberately took the [Broken Jade Knife] out to cut the tofu, and a few times, as if using a simple cross-cutting technique, the light of the knife flashed, and the still wet'frosted tofu' placed on the table was cut into pieces. Equally lumpy.

These days, Xia Yu's training of sword skills has not stopped for a moment.

Although the level of talent points of [Bull and Blue Dragon] is currently fixed at the value of "1", Xia Yu's use of this dark stunt has already far exceeded the level value floating on the surface.

Moreover, by analogy, using a heavy large kitchen knife to practice the dark stunts to a certain extent, Xia Yu found that when using other small kitchen knives to handle ingredients, he had a more subtle grasp of strength.To put it simply, micro-operations are even more terrifying. The basic sword skill of 10 points at full level is obviously not the upper limit of sword skill.

I have to say that the appearance of "Shuangjiang Tofu" is very beautiful. The fat is like frost and snow, which is distributed in the tofu.

Even without mentioning the appearance, the quality of "Shuangjiang Tofu" itself is much better than ordinary tofu.It can be called special quality.Although it has the disadvantage of being more fat, the tofu itself is rich in moisture, tender and refreshing. When used for cooking, the lumpy tofu can keep its shape well, rather than breaking up during the stir-fry.

The key lies in the fat. Xia Yu has initially solved the problem of tofu fat.

In fact, the oil contained in "Sangjiang Tofu" is full of the aroma of native plants, and the problem of aftertaste is also closely related to this aroma.

So, Xia Yu’s method is not to remove the strong fragrance, which is unrealistic, but to thoroughly integrate the strong fragrance into the cooking. This may make the improvement work very difficult, but once successful, the improved magic "Mapo tofu" will not be the traditional "six flavors in one", but will become "seven flavors in one". The extra flavor is the original aroma brought by the cream of frosted tofu!

Xia Yu has found a way to blend this strong fragrance.

spices!

Change your mind and regard the aftertaste of Frosty Tofu itself as a kind of spice. In this way, the original spice balance in the "Ma Po Tofu" recipe is broken. What Xia Yu wants to try is to rebuild a stable spice, etc. formula.

after an hour.

"Good smell!"

When the kitchen door was pushed open, Sakamoto, An Yilun, and Ryoko Rina all looked over.

Seeing sweat on her forehead, Xia Yu brought out a large plate of fresh and warm Mapo tofu, "Try it—"

Put the white plate on the table and found four pairs of chopsticks. Xia Yu took one pair by herself, and the other three pairs were allocated to Sakamoto, An Yilunya and Ryoko Rina.

Ryoko Lina first set the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu with red pepper grease, opened her lips gently, and sent it to her mouth. After chewing for a while, she exhaled and said:

"It's very close to Luminous Cuisine!"
